Functions

Temperature measurement (K-type thermocouple) – accurately determines temperature based on the voltage generated by the thermocouple
Surface temperature control – designed for mounting on surfaces (pipes, housings, heating elements)
Fast response to temperature changes – allows real-time monitoring of temperature fluctuations
Wide measurement range (0–400°C) – suitable for both domestic and industrial use
Robust M6 threaded mounting – ensures stable and reliable installation on surfaces
Resistance to environmental conditions (IP65) – protection against dust and moisture
High-temperature resistant cable insulation – fiberglass protects against overheating
Universal compatibility – works with most temperature controllers supporting K-type
Convenient connection (fork-type connector) – quick and easy connection to devices

Application

For household users: Monitoring temperature of boilers, water heaters or heating systems, controlling surface temperature of stoves or fireplaces, DIY projects with temperature controllers
For engineers: Temperature monitoring in automated systems, integration with PLCs or temperature controllers, test benches and laboratory measurements

FAQ

Is this sensor intended for liquids or only for surfaces?
This model is a surface sensor, therefore it is designed to measure surface temperature. For liquids or immersion, special immersion sensors are required.

What is the maximum temperature it can measure?
This model is designed to operate up to +400°C, making it suitable for most standard industrial and domestic applications.

Can it be used outdoors?
Yes, due to IP65 protection, the sensor is resistant to dust and moisture, but additional protection from direct rain or mechanical damage is recommended.

Is an additional device required for operation?
Yes, the sensor itself only measures temperature – a temperature controller or indicator is required to process the signal and display the values.
